Teach: Together Everyone Achieves Clubhouse

By Colleen Kassner

This is the third edition of Together Everyone Achieves Clubhouse, more commonly referred to as "the TEACH Manual." It is a compilation of commentary, quotations, and art about the International Standards for Clubhouse Programs. These 36 Standards are the foundational document of more than 300 Clubhouses around the world that are based on "the Clubhouse Model of rehabilitation" and connected by Clubhouse International, a global organization that assists communities to create opportunities for recovery for people who live with the challenges of mental illness. Grand Avenue Club (GAC) is an accredited Clubhouse International community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All of the work that was done to publish this book was completed by GAC colleagues - members, staff, student interns, and a few volunteers. To create this book we organized many discussions and conversations and art workshops. We wrote and revised the essays in thebook, collected all quotations, illustrated, edited, and created the format.The TEACH Manual comes out of GAC's strong desire to remain very close to the Standards and to be certain that everyone at our Clubhouse not onlyencounters them but also has the opportunity to claim and interpret them and to have a better life because of them. Although our Clubhouse experience is in a medium-sized Midwestern city in the United States, we hope this book can be helpful to any Clubhouse that is based on the Standards.
